I want to raise my suspension slightly. I've done the front. Below is a photo of the right rear. My questions are as follows:

Which lock rings to I turn?
What directions to I turn them, again to raise ride height?
Should they be turned in any particular sequence? Like the blue and silver colored ones first.

Ron:

To raise ride height, you need to screw the blue spring perch up the shock body. Be advised that doing this without scales is going to change your corner balance no matter how careful you are. Also anytime ride height changes, camber and toe changes. This means you’ll need an alignment.

Ron:

I see that I missed answering some of your questions. The silver spanner nut is the one that locks the blue adjustable perch. However, it looks like it is butted against the black spanner that is the locking nut for your rear sway bar drop link mount. In any event, you need to unlock (turn clockwise) the silver nut and then raise the blue perch (counterclockwise). Hopefully you will not need to mess around with the black spanner nut and the sway bar drop link mount.

Ron, Hank,

The clockwise direction for unlocking the large aluminum lockring is rotating the ring to the left (relative to the picture).

The counter-clockwise direction for raising the blue spring perch is the equivalent of rotating the blue spring perch to the right (again, relative to the picture).

I believe Hank's directions are based upon looking at the shock from the top as opposed to the bottom.
